2009 Year of Pleasures #18

I’m feeling a little bit stuck these days. Just not feeling the creative mojo. This happens to me a lot when I finish a big project, I just have trouble getting myself kick started again.

Everything I’ve been working on for the past week has been long term works in progress. As I’m sure you can see from the sidebar, I have loads of things I’d like to do and never enough time to do them all, but none of them are really getting me motivated lately. And I always feel a little anxious when I start finishing a bunch of projects without adding new ones to the list. I have that irrational fear that all creative types get at one time or another – the well has run dry and I’ll never come up with another idea again.

Blank Slate
I spent yesterday cleaning my studio.

I don’t know what it is about a clean desk that I find so inspiring. I just have this urge to fill this desk back up with all kinds of messy things. But I also have an urge to just sit down in my comfy chair, prop my elbows up on this nice clean desk, and dream about what’s going to come next.
